The Weather Thread 2024

This is more of a roller coaster than the Heal/Hurt tread hahaha

Weeks of looking at the (frankly pointless) GFS pressure charts and jetstream and every year, all you need to do is wait for this graphic from the Met Office. They have the highest resolution of any model over the UK and don't mess about with fantasy. I do love the fact that every year, a few more people take an interest and learn a bit about meteorology. I'm happy to advise on the best socks & sandals combos.

 

Met Office FTW:

Not sure I would be as magnanimous about that penalty decision as folks on telly were. I'd probably riot

 

He was offside dude. I'm a Scots loving Scouser and was desperate for Robbo to go through. I thought it was a pen at full speed, then saw the reply and thought he'd pulled the Hungarian lad into him, so no pen, but then saw the knee in his leg...pen. Then there was a fair bit of chatter about the initial pass. Looks off, just about and that has to be the only logical explanation.

Shall we start talking about the 2016 mudbath again to scare those that drop in the thread this week and don't read back through the comments?

☝🏼 What this dude said. Most of us live in the UK. We should know what the long range forecasts are like by now.

Fully on board

This is honestly my ideal festival forecast. Still think it’s too soon to call the weekend but feeling pretty confident on gates opening being lovely. See ya’ll on the hill for sunset

I've watched it a number of times in the build up this year.  Just to reassure myself that even though its been wet and not the best start to the summer, it hasn't been as bad as 2016

Ban all 2016 MAGA scum.

I heard this morning that BBC Bristol are advising people not to rely on their weather apps the models are too unreliable.......

That means they're all incorrect as they're all in broad agreement now.

Maybe, I didn't realize offside was even in the equation to be fair as I was in the process of collecting my Chinese from the front door at the time and simultaneously reading the weather thread.

I wasnt there so can't really comment but it does look like the dust is being kept down nicely

The German ICON is now out to Saturday and throws a bit of a fly in the ointment… the Beeb now have rain for next Saturday:

 

 

and ICON shows why…. ECM keeps this little low out to the west where it fizzles out.  ICON 6z decides to bring it across the U.K. with its accompanying rain.  Even if it does come off, the rain won’t be too heavy by the looks. Worth keeping an eye on…

Just made the mistake of looking at the MetOffice feels like temperatures 🥲

And lo and behold, like all good rollercoasters, so begins the drop…

What's with all the bark chippings on West Holt's? Just to keep it clean and then be removed or are we all going to get Splintered Bottom disease?

Not sure, but there was a site panic just after I arrived, all stations prepare for extreme rain. Other areas got the same treatment, Pyramid within the barrier and main walkways through main markets
